I agree that Ed has a point, but it also represents something of a 
quandary for the ARRL.

Since the Amateur Service is supposed to be self-policing -- would it 
be right for the ARRL to hold back this information, when it clearly 
shows someone operating a station out of his licensing limits? To what 
length should your ARRL dues to spend in order to protect the privacy 
rights of such a violator?

It's a real catch-22 situation if I ever saw one. The ARRL loses either 
way.
